Meghan Markle's Message Reaches Hospitalized Father After Leg Amputation

Press presence at his bedside hindered private contact.

Overview

  • A spokesperson said contact proved extremely difficult in recent days, yet her correspondence is now in Thomas Markle’s hands via trusted intermediaries.
  • Meghan emailed after learning of the operation and phoned multiple hospitals in Cebu, attempting to identify the facility from logos seen in photos.
  • Doctors reported a successful below‑knee amputation due to a blood clot, with his condition stabilized and a transfer out of intensive care.
  • Earlier reports conflicted on whether contact had occurred, with tabloids quoting Thomas as unaware before the message reached him.
  • AFP relayed that a reporter positioned beside his hospital bed was broadcasting interactions, complicating delivery of Meghan’s note.
